… Read Full Bio ↴Ernest Ranglin (born June 19, 1932) is a famous Jamaican guitarist.
As a child, Ranglin played ukulele, then guitar in his teen years. Charlie Christian was an early influence. Ranglin played on many classic recordings, with Jimmy Cliff, Monty Alexander, Prince Buster, The Skatalites, and others. Ranglin toured extensively with the Eric Deans Orchestra, one of the top bands in the Caribbean.
In 1958, Chris Blackwell recorded a Ranglin single; it was the first Island Records release. Later recordings in the late 1950s and early 1960s are often regarded as important in the early development of ska. In 1964, Ranglin, with Coxsone Dodd and singer Millie recorded "My Boy Lollipop", the first Jamaican song to achieve international success.
Some credit Ranglin with the invention of the core style of guitar play (sometimes known as scratching) found in nearly all Ska music.
Ranglin has continued recording, often blending jazz with reggae. In 1997, Ranglin was reunited with the Skatalites, for the album Ball of Fire.

Ernest Ranglin Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jangan pernah kau sekutukan aku
Tapi bila kau anggap perlu
Aku biarkan
Tadinya ku bukan dengan yang lain
Cinta ini bukan tuk main-main
Tapi bila kau ingin main, aku relakan
Memang aku jatuh hati padamu
Silakan teruskan
Pasti kau akan kutinggalkan
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan
Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Setan mana yang menggoda hatimu
Tega-teganya kau mau begitu
Inikah caranya
Sungguh aku tak percaya
Terlalu
Cukup satu bila kau cinta aku
Jangan pernah kau sekutukan aku
Tapi bila kau anggap perlu
Aku biarkan
Memang aku jatuh hati padamu
Tak berarti kau kuasai aku
lirik dari MelOn.co.id
Silakan teruskan
Pasti kau akan kutinggalkan
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan
Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan
Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Setan mana yang menggoda hatimu
Tega-teganya kau mau begitu
Inikah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
terlalu
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan
Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan
Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Setan mana yang menggoda hatimu
Tega-teganya kau mau begitu
Inikah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Aku tak percaya
Sungguh tak percaya
Terlalu
Cukup satu bila kau cinta aku
Just one thing is enough, if you truly love me
Jangan pernah kau sekutukan aku
Never compare me with others
Tapi bila kau anggap perlu Aku biarkan
But if you feel the need, I'll let you do it
Tadinya ku bukan dengan yang lain
I'm not like the others
Cinta ini bukan tuk main-main
This love is not a game
Tapi bila kau ingin main, aku relakan
But if you want to play, I'll let you
Memang aku jatuh hati padamu
Yes, I fell for you
Tak berarti kau kuasai aku
Doesn't mean you own me
Silakan teruskan
Go ahead and continue
Pasti kau akan kutinggalkan
But I will definitely leave you
Engkau bilang kau ingin membuktikan Sebesar apa cintaku padamu
You said you want to prove how much I love you
Ini kah caranya sungguh aku tak percaya
Is this the way, I truly cannot believe it
Setan mana yang menggoda hatimu Tega-teganya kau mau begitu Inikah caranya Sungguh aku tak percaya
Which devil tempted your heart, how could you be so cruel, is this how it is, I truly cannot believe it
Terlalu
Too much

I borrowed this CD from a friend in high school, circa 2000, and every now and again go back to it. Such a great album, I heard Baaba Maal years later with Mumford & Sons song Johannesburg. Thank you PALM for the add. TY Ernest and folks for the jams!
